All Grade 5 students in Springfield Public Schools have the opportunity to participate in an extra-curricular ensemble of beginning orchestra. Enrollment happens annually during the month of September. Students may opt to learn violin, viola, cello, or bass and no prior experience is expected. These ensembles meet twice a week beginning the last week of September through June. Students will participate in the All Elementary Extravaganza Concert held in May. Affordable instrument rental is available. If you are interested in participating in our program please contact our music teacher and/or your child’s teacher.
